Delhi's Education Minister Ashish Sood announced the launch of an online portal to map student paying guest (PG) accommodations across the city and conduct joint inspections of 100 identified unsafe properties over the next three days. The initiative aims to ensure safety standards and legal compliance for student housing. The High-Powered Committee (HPC) on Student Accommodation and Safety, chaired by Chief Minister Smt. @gupta_rekha Ji, discussed strengthening safety measures, improving regulations, and addressing issues that led to incidents like the Satya Niketan tragedy.
A sub-committee will examine regulatory restrictions affecting PG accommodations, reviewing options for possible relaxations under existing laws. Joint inspections by MCD and DDA teams will assess safety arrangements and compliance at 100 selected cases, while the portal will be launched soon to capture essential information about student accommodations, including the number of rooms and basic amenities.
